Adopting Melbourne City FC means Australia A-League results start mattering to you, a club going since 2008. Not a novelty, a habit.

Something to defend
The cabinet is not empty: A-League Men Championship and A-League Men Premiership. Small enough to recite from memory, big enough to argue about in a pub.
Proper ground
Melbourne Rectangular Stadium takes roughly 30,050, big enough for atmosphere, small enough that you can learn where the singing corner is on your first visit.
You get a nickname
Known as City, Hearts, Heart, City Boys, City Blues. That is your new shorthand, your search term and your excuse for buying a scarf.
Easy weekend
Melbourne Essendon Airport (MEB) is about 13km from the ground, and Botanic Gardens railway station, Melbourne is 0km closer still. A home fixture is a genuinely doable two-night trip.

Ground: Melbourne Rectangular Stadium. Go in a day early, find the pre-match pub, buy the programme.
